    -If they skip the regular season, they will need to test players at least 21 days out so they can quarantine, and then play. You wouldn't want a team testing positive and then force them to play shorthanded in the first round. Think it best to work out any covid kinks in those 10 games, like do we need waterboys and moppers.

    -Prefer that all teams make it. It adds entertainment, and gives the top seeds some ramp up time should they need it.

    -It just seems unfair not to play at least 10 regular season games so they can at least scale up the intensity before something is on the line. But let all the teams make the playoffs, and let the chips fall where they may.

    -The so called bubble isn't real. It can't be done. Think players will feel some peer pressure to stay in it. That will work. However, 3-4 months is going to break. Rodman and Jordan couldn't do it in the nba finals, let alone 3-4 months of action. There will be fights. There will be arguments. There will be sex. There will be drugs. You can sense our bubble bursting right now. But it's not only who breaks out of the bubble, but who breaks in. You put 200 famous people in one place, and I assure you, people are trying to get in, people are opening doors for their friends.

    -This will work. It will get done. But people will get sick too. That's real. Someone may die. That's real too.

    The Jazz have offered, at no cost, a time keeper who they will keep in a bubble and well protected. Multiple hands on the time clock, bad idea, says John Stockton. It sounds suspicious.

    Are the non-playoffs teams going to get stuck there for 2 months just to play 5 meaningless games?

    Yeah, wouldn't even wish it upon the D- leaguers that they would attempt to dispatch.

    Just go directly to playoffs. Sorry to the bubble teams. Might have another pandemic 5 years down road. May as well set a precedent.
